Orochimaru, who was secretly licking his wounds, never thought that his Konoha collapse plan would lead to so many things.
The youngest 5th Hokage, who was known as the youngest, even defected to Konoha like him.
God knows what kind of strange expression he had when he heard this news.
He even felt a bit regretful that he could not let his sensei see this scene.
It was really a pity.
However, just as Orochimaru was studying the cloning mask, an uninvited guest appeared in front of him.
"I hope you brought good news this time, and not specifically to see me, the 'loser' joke." Orochimaru didn't put down the item on his hand, but only reminded him.
Aoba didn't say anything, only throwing out a scroll.
"What is this?"
"It's something that you couldn't get even after trying so hard."
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, and then he opened the seal to take a look. He found that the one sealed inside the scroll was actually Sharingan!
Moreover, there were many of them, and there were more than a hundred of them!
"Very good. With these, I will definitely be able to crack Rinnegan's secret."
He didn't care where the other party got so many Sharingan from. He only knew that he didn't need to worry about research materials anymore.
Perhaps working with Yasuo was a good choice.
Orochimaru was very satisfied.
But Aoba suddenly sneered, "You think too much. With this quality, you will never be able to get Rinnegan."
"Now, what you have to do is to let these Sharingan continue to evolve."
This guy started to trick Orochimaru again. How could Rinnegan do it so easily?
To be able to break Mangekyou's barrier, he could be considered as Orochimaru, who was gifted with supernatural abilities, and Ninja World was the strongest scientist!
Fortunately, Aoba did not have much hope in the first place. Forget about Rinnegan, just hang this flatbread on top of Orochimaru's head.
He only hoped that Orochimaru could research the evolutionary method of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, so as to avoid Itachi going blind in order to catch him.
This was the real reason why he kept Orochimaru.
He then explained to Orochimaru the secrets he knew about Sharingan, as well as the method to open Mangekyou Sharingan.
Orochimaru's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't wait to start studying such an interesting Kekkei Genkai.
It was the first time he had heard about Mangekyou Sharingan, but he had actually seen the power of Mangekyou Sharingan.
Only then did he know why Uchiha Itachi was so strong that time. It was completely different from the Uchiha he knew.
So this was the reason!
Mangekyou Sharingan was the true power of Uchiha Clan!
Orochimaru, he understood!
Then he excitedly said to himself, "According to what you said, the key to Sharingan's evolution should be emotions!"
"Through intense emotional stimulation, it can open the eyes of people of Uchiha Clan and continuously evolve. And the more negative emotions are, the greater the stimulation will be produced, and the higher the chance of opening eyes and evolving. No wonder it is called 'cursed eyes'."
"Then what I need to know the most now is what kind of substance will cause Sharingan to open and evolve after this 'light switch' is pressed?"
"Emotional stimulation should only be the condition to trigger the 'light switch', not the root cause of evolution."
Looking at Orochimaru excitedly talking to himself, sometimes frowning, sometimes distressed, Aoba suddenly felt that he should have found the right person.
Orochimaru was definitely not a good person, even if he was washed white later.
But everything in the scientific field was dark.
Whether it was talent or perseverance, they were all things that a scientist needed.
Just this fanaticism alone was enough to instantly kill other people!
Moreover, after listening to his few words, he was able to analyze so many things. Then, he immediately determined the direction of his research and made a bold guess, carefully verifying it.
Aoba suddenly had a lot of confidence. Perhaps this guy really could research something different.
In the end, Orochimaru shook his head regretfully, "It would be great if we could catch some of Uchiha's experimental subjects. The research progress would definitely be much faster."
"Mangekyou Sharingan is not the limit yet. If you can't even make it through this difficulty, then you don't have to dream about Rinnegan anymore."
"I hope that the next time we meet, you won't disappoint me."
It wasn't until Yasuo left that Orochimaru retracted his gaze. He then looked at Sharingan, who was stored in the utensils on the table, and revealed a confident smile.
"Above Mangekyou Sharingan? What an intoxicating power. Perhaps I might think I've prepared a better vessel after breaking the secret."
"I have to thank you for your reminder, my partner."
.........
At the same time, some changes happened to Konoha.
Itachi unloaded the heavy burden and responsibility on his body and handed the position of patriarch back to his father.
Although Uchiha Fugaku were no longer Konoha's high-level advisers, Uchiha Clan had already passed the crisis of destruction.
Therefore, even though the matter of 'em defected' had caused a serious impact on Uchiha's reputation, it was not as bad as he had imagined.
After all, there were many people who supported 'that person' at that time.
"Itachi, are you sure you want to do this?"
Faced with his father's question, Itachi looked calm, but his tone was unusually firm. "I promised that I would bring Aoba back."
"Do you know where he is?" Fugaku sighed.
"No matter where he is, I believe I can find him. I can feel that Aoba must have made this choice involuntarily."
Thinking back to the conversation between the two that night, Itachi's gaze became even more determined.
At this point, Fugaku could no longer persuade him. He could only nod and say, "Since you have already made up your mind, then you can go without worry. I am at home. There is no need to worry about me. It is just that Sasuke should throw a tantrum again."
In advance of Sasuke, Itachi's expression softened a little.
At the same time, a beautiful figure appeared in his mind.
Although he was reluctant, this was the path he had chosen. This fetters could not be cut off so easily.
Therefore, he could only apologize and then leave the house with a bow.
"Itachi, if I become a rebel, what will you do?"
"Of course, I will catch you with my own hands. Then I will open your head and see what is inside!"
As he walked out of Konoha's door, Itachi looked into the distance and muttered to himself, "Aoba, according to the agreement, I will catch you. Are you ready?"
